High humidity and sweltering temps in Central Texas are to be expected in late June. That is just the way it is. A chain saw is a punishing piece of equipment that will just wear you out and then amputate a limb or digit when you aren’t watching. The two items should never be combined. Trust me on this. One of the things we have had to do on this Calvert, TX Continue reading Lookin’ Like Death On a Cracker….
